Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management.

SaaS applications are sometimes called Web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Whatever the name, SaaS applications run on a SaaS provider’s servers. The provider manages access to the application, including security, availability, and performance.

SaaS implementation is no longer a specialized option. Decision makers in the IT industry now consider SaaS mainstream, possibly basing this observation on the growth rate for adoption being in the double-digits. Demand for applications shows no signs of decreasing, especially with benefits such as low upfront costs, acceptance by end users, faster deployment, and frequent upgrades.

Easily identifiable are four strategies that businesses can capitalize on to take advantage of this application phenomenon. Carefully considering the following strategies will ensure you are informed after you have made the decision to integrate SaaS implementation into your business.

As the web continues changing and evolving for time to time, the divisions between design is now more specific, the birth and increasing demand for specialized discipline makes the both designer and developer broaden their discipline.

During the days that I’ve looking for a job, I notice that applied on more specialized disciplines, but in reality they are looking for someone whom can understand and can do both disciplines. Like when I applied for Senior Front End Developer they expecting that I can code in Laravel and CodeIgniter. There is almost no such thing as full pledged web developer or web designer. Web designer becomes visual designer, user experience designer, visual artist, creative manager or etc. While web developers become HTML5 Developer, Laravel Developer, PHP Developer, Android Developer, iOS Developer or etc. The sad part is the Employer want someone that have experience in all this area, they expected their future employee to understand and can code on each disciplines.

The person knowledge is far more transferable than any one programming language or design principle. But yet, we have to decide to keep on learning. Design and Programming are learnable. We often think of a programming environment or language in terms of its features — this one “has code folding”, that one “has type inference”. This is like thinking in terms of its words — this book has a “fortuitous”, that one has a “munificent”. What matters is not individual words, but how the words together convey a message.

Likewise, a well-designed system is not simply a bag of features. A good system is designed to encourage particular ways of thinking, with all features carefully and cohesively designed around that purpose. The trick is to see through them — to see the underlying design principles that they represent, and understand how these principles enable the programmer to think.

“We should all be striving to learn, but the question remains, what exactly should we learn? Maybe it isn’t as simple as “learn to develop” or “learn to design,” but is about learning to communicate and collaborate, to respect the nuances of each other’s craft — and the artistry and reason that they both demand in equal measure — without attempting to master it for oneself.” – Ivana McConnell
